Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Evaluate Upadacitinib in Adolescents and Adults With Moderate to Severe Atopic Dermatitis (Measure Up 2) (NCT NCT03607422)

NCT ID: NCT03607422

Last Updated: 2025-12-03

Results Overview

EASI is a tool used to measure the extent (area) and severity of atopic eczema based on assessments of the head/ neck, trunk, upper limbs and lower limbs. For each region the area score is recorded as the percentage of skin affected by eczema. For each region, the severity score is calculated as the sum of the intensity scores (scored as none \[0\], mild \[1\], moderate \[2\], or severe \[3\]) for redness (erythema, inflammation), thickness (induration, papulation, swelling - acute eczema), scratching (excoriation), and lichenification (lined skin, prurigo nodules - chronic eczema). The total EASI score for each region is calculated by multiplying the severity score by the area score, with adjustment for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. The final EASI score is the sum of the 4 region scores and ranges from 0 to 72 where higher scores represent worse disease.

Participant Flow

Participants were enrolled at 154 study sites in 23 countries across Europe, North America, Oceania, and the Asia-Pacific region. The study included a 16-week double-blind treatment period followed by an ongoing blinded extension period. The first 836 adults and adolescents enrolled constituted the Main Study; additional adolescents were enrolled in the Adolescent Substudy to ensure enrollment of a total of 180 adolescent participants overall. Results are reported up to Week 16.

Participants were randomized equally into 1 of 3 treatment groups, stratified by disease severity (validated Investigator Global Assessment Scale for Atopic Dermatitis \[vIGA-AD\] moderate \[3\] vs severe \[4\]), geographic region (US/Puerto Rico/Canada vs Other), and age (adolescent \[ages 12 to 17\] vs adult \[ages 18 to 75\]). Randomization for the adolescent substudy was stratified by disease severity (vIGA-AD 3 vs vIGA-AD 4) and geographic region (US/Puerto Rico/Canada vs Other).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 16

Population: The intent-to-treat population for the main study (ITT\_M) includes all participants who were randomized in the main study (adults and adolescents). Non-responder imputation incorporating multiple imputation to handle missing data due to coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic (COVID-19) (NRI-C) was used. The pre-specified primary analysis included participants enrolled in the main study only; Efficacy analyses of adolescent participants were conducted separately and are reported below.

EASI is a tool used to measure the extent (area) and severity of atopic eczema based on assessments of the head/ neck, trunk, upper limbs and lower limbs. For each region the area score is recorded as the percentage of skin affected by eczema. For each region, the severity score is calculated as the sum of the intensity scores (scored as none \[0\], mild \[1\], moderate \[2\], or severe \[3\]) for redness (erythema, inflammation), thickness (induration, papulation, swelling - acute eczema), scratching (excoriation), and lichenification (lined skin, prurigo nodules - chronic eczema). The total EASI score for each region is calculated by multiplying the severity score by the area score, with adjustment for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. The final EASI score is the sum of the 4 region scores and ranges from 0 to 72 where higher scores represent worse disease.

EASI is a tool used to measure the extent (area) and severity of atopic eczema based on assessments of the head/neck, trunk, upper limbs and lower limbs. For each region the area score is recorded as the percentage of skin affected by eczema. For each region, the severity score is calculated as the sum of the intensity scores (scored as none \[0\], mild \[1\], moderate \[2\], or severe \[3\]) for redness (erythema, inflammation), thickness (induration, papulation, swelling - acute eczema), scratching (excoriation), and lichenification (lined skin, prurigo nodules - chronic eczema). The total EASI score for each region is calculated by multiplying the severity score by the area score, with adjustment for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. The final EASI score is the sum of the 4 region scores and ranges from 0 to 72 where higher scores represent worse disease. An EASI 75 response is defined as at least a 75% reduction (improvement) from Baseline in EASI score.

EASI is a tool used to measure the extent (area) and severity of atopic eczema based on assessments of the head/neck, trunk, upper limbs and lower limbs. For each region the area score is recorded as the percentage of skin affected by eczema. For each region, the severity score is calculated as the sum of the intensity scores (scored as none \[0\], mild \[1\], moderate \[2\], or severe \[3\]) for redness (erythema, inflammation), thickness (induration, papulation, swelling - acute eczema), scratching (excoriation), and lichenification (lined skin, prurigo nodules - chronic eczema). The total EASI score for each region is calculated by multiplying the severity score by the area score, with adjustment for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. The final EASI score is the sum of the 4 region scores and ranges from 0 to 72 where higher scores represent worse disease.

EASI is a tool used to measure the extent (area) and severity of atopic eczema based on assessments of the head/neck, trunk, upper limbs and lower limbs. For each region the area score is recorded as the percentage of skin affected by eczema. For each region, the severity score is calculated as the sum of the intensity scores (scored as none \[0\], mild \[1\], moderate \[2\], or severe \[3\]) for redness (erythema, inflammation), thickness (induration, papulation, swelling - acute eczema), scratching (excoriation), and lichenification (lined skin, prurigo nodules - chronic eczema). The total EASI score for each region is calculated by multiplying the severity score by the area score, with adjustment for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. The final EASI score is the sum of the 4 region scores and ranges from 0 to 72 where higher scores represent worse disease. An EASI 90 response is defined as at least a 90% reduction (improvement) from Baseline in EASI score.

EASI is a tool used to measure the extent (area) and severity of atopic eczema based on assessments of the head/neck, trunk, upper limbs and lower limbs. For each region the area score is recorded as the percentage of skin affected by eczema. For each region, the severity score is calculated as the sum of the intensity scores (scored as none \[0\], mild \[1\], moderate \[2\], or severe \[3\]) for redness (erythema, inflammation), thickness (induration, papulation, swelling - acute eczema), scratching (excoriation), and lichenification (lined skin, prurigo nodules - chronic eczema). The total EASI score for each region is calculated by multiplying the severity score by the area score, with adjustment for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. The final EASI score is the sum of the 4 region scores and ranges from 0 to 72 where higher scores represent worse disease. An EASI 100 response is defined as a 100% reduction (improvement) from Baseline in EASI score.

SCORAD is a clinical tool used to assess the extent and severity of eczema (SCORing Atopic Dermatitis). The extent is assessed using the rule of 9 to calculate the affected area (A) as a percentage of the whole body (0-100%). The intensity part of the SCORAD (B) consists of 6 items: erythema, oedema/papulation, excoriations, lichenification, oozing/crusts and dryness, each graded on a scale from 0 (none) to 3 (severe), for a total score of 0 to 18. Subjective items (C) include daily pruritus and sleeplessness, each scored on a visual analogue scale (VAS) from 0 to 10 (total score 0-20). SCORAD is calculated as A/5 + 7B/2 + C, and ranges from 0 to 103 (worst). A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 16

Population: Intent-to-treat population for adolescents who were ≥ 16 years old at Screening with DLQI score \> 1 at Baseline; Non-responder imputation incorporating multiple imputation to handle missing data due to COVID-19 (NRI-C) was used.

The DLQI is a 10-item validated questionnaire used to assess the impact of AD disease symptoms and treatment on quality of life (QoL). It consists of 10 questions evaluating impact of skin diseases on different aspects of a participant's QoL over the prior week, including symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work or school, personal relationships, and the side effects of treatment. Each item is scored on a 4-point scale (0 = not at all/not relevant; 1 = a little; 2 = a lot; and 3 = very much). Item scores are added to provide a total score, ranging from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating greater impairment of QoL. A score of 0 or 1 means that the disease has no effect at all. the DLQI was administered to participants who were ≥ 16 (16 to 75) years old at the time of the Screening visit.
